During the battle of Leyte I've yet to find and attack the northern carrier group the JP's sent to bait Halsey. I usually do the battle of Samar or Surigao, but went looking.
On the way north I got a large contact, lil early to be the JP's since they left Kure on Oct. 20. Turned out to be Halsey, actually two TF grouped together, 9 carriers correct per history, many BB's, ect..

So I head North and finally got a contact. Finally found the Ozawa's carrier group.

Lurker did a great job on both TF. The right capital ships. Can't wait to get at the JP TF, contains both late war ISE's which was correct and 3 other carriers and many others.
Think I'll track it for a few days and watch the US aircraft attack it then go in, but it'll have to wait til this weekend.
